Score at the flea market!

[Okie73]

So I asked my wife this morning what she wanted to do today and told her if she would like some peace and quiet I would take the boys to the flea market.
Well I made it out of the flea market today with a Lee Drip-O-Matic and four older reloading manuals for $30! Yes I asked to plug the pot in before buying. The pot had what looks to be about three pounds of coww in it and a bunch of dross.
I already have a Pro 4-20 and have been thinking about adding another pot for a different alloy or pure Pb for soft nose boolits.
I love flea markets!

Nice... I have 2 of those manuals on my ipad... The first 2.. Downloaded in PDF from castpics

I found that same Speer#6 manual at the flea market. Got plenty lead boolit recipes.

Good find brother!

I now have Speer #3 #6 & #8. I enjoy looking through these older manuals to see what powders they were using and the ones that hadn't come out yet. We have way more options yet some of the most popular powders today are what they were using 40+ years ago.
I did manage to get the pot cleaned out yesterday and understand why people say not to smelt in your casting pot. I found a clip from a coww and what looks like a half jacket from a bullet and a LOT of dross.
Thanks for the replies!

I'd say you did well!
